We’re excited to share some earth-loving news here at Villa Finder! As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability and preserving the beautiful environments our villas call home, we’ve proudly joined 1% for the Planet.

Ah, the joys of travelling! Exploring new places, soaking in different cultures, and munching on exotic foods… what could be better? But here’s the catch: as tourism skyrockets, we also face some serious challenges, like overcrowded attractions, environmental degradation, and the all-too-real loss of cultural heritage.
